Abstract
As the information society has matured and narrowed the boundaries between countries, gaining financial knowledge has become of paramount importance. Just as flowing water travels downward, money moves toward profitable ventures. In modern society, which is increasingly polarized between the rich and the poor, the rich become richer, and the poor become poorer. Therefore, finance-related knowledge becomes invaluable. The asymmetric diversity of information is perhaps found the most in finance-related matters. As general consumers, therefore, we need to have a rational outlook toward the socioeconomic situation and be able to manage proper self-finance so that we can live independently without suffering from unfair losses. The present study is bibliographic research on financial education imparted across the country, considering the future of the financial education and career development process in upper secondary education.
